The Cricket Thread

Willey and Brook in full flow against Notts, explosive stuff.

And that's the end of Willey.

 

De Grandhomme out of the series with a torn heel , ouch !

 

Unsurprisingly no Crane today.

 

Good toss to win as well. Definitely want to chase at Radlett.

 

Alsop has now moved to Sussex on a permanent basis. A shame to lose a home-grown player, I remember seeing him as a substitute keeper for Michael Bates against Lancs (I think it was) in a one-day game before he could get to the ground to take his place behind the stumps, took a good catch stood up to Dimi. A very handy white-ball batsman, but, to be honest, wasn't ever really going to nail down a place in the Championship side.

 

Yeah it's a real shame to lose him for 50 over cricket. But he's no loss to Championship cricket.

 

Enough boundaries will be conceded today, without that misfield.

 

Not this year, Cracknell

 

Really good last two overs to pull it back from the first four.

 

One bad over. But 31-2 from the other five overs is excellent.

 

Great over Daws.

 

Boom!

 

Nice. That was the pressure of some good bowling.

 

Scoreboard pressure got that wicket, really tight bowling.

 

Fuller bowls some absolute jaffas on occasions.

 

Middlesex under the screw now.

 

4 down!

 

The promotion of Hollman just didn't work at all.

Had the opposite impact tbh.

 

Glad Captain Morgan is not there.

 

I like this from Vince too. We've got two guys bowling well, so letting them continue. No need to get funky with his decisions.
